‘She Died Doing What Was Right’

The woman killed at a white-nationalist rally in Virginia when a car plowed into several people has been identified by family members.

Heather Heyer, 32, was attending the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally as a counter-protester on Saturday when James Alex Fields Jr, of Ohio, allegedly drove a vehicle into a crowd, killing Heyer as she crossed the street, and injuring 19 others.

“Heather Heyer was murdered while protesting against hate,” her family wrote on GoFundMe. “She died doing what was right. My heart is broken, but I am forever proud of her.”

Fields, who is being held at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail, is now charged with second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding, and one count of failing to stop,

Field’s mother, Samantha Bloom, told The Associated Press on Saturday night that she knew her son was attending a rally in Virginia but didn’t know it was a white supremacist rally.

”I thought it had something to do with Trump. Trump’s not a white supremacist,” said Bloom.
